Imagine the NBA’s two biggest superstars, LeBron James and Steph Curry, teaming up to play on the same team. The Golden State Warriors reportedly tried to make this dream scenario a reality by attempting to pull off a blockbuster trade that would have landed them the Los Angeles Lakers superstar ahead of the NBA trade deadline.
Key Takeaway
The Golden State Warriors made a bold attempt to trade for LeBron James in an effort to pair him with Steph Curry, creating a potential powerhouse duo in the NBA. While the Lakers have shown no interest in trading LeBron at the moment, the possibility of this move in the future remains open, keeping fans excited about the prospect of seeing these two superstars play together.
Warriors’ Bold Move
According to sources, Warriors owner Joe Lacob, with encouragement from LeBron’s close friend Draymond Green, made an offer to the Lakers for LeBron James. This move came as LeBron James seemed less than enthused with his Lakers squad, prompting the Warriors to explore the possibility of bringing him to Golden State.
Lakers’ Response
However, the Lakers reportedly have “no desire” to trade LeBron James, and the 20-time NBA All-Star himself has expressed no interest in leaving the Lakers. This stance from the Lakers has put a halt to the Warriors’ pursuit of LeBron James for now.
Potential Future Move
Despite the current roadblock, there is still a possibility for the Warriors to make a run at LeBron James after the season, should the future Hall of Famer choose not to exercise a $51.4 million player option. This means that the idea of LeBron teaming up with Steph Curry in Golden State may not be entirely off the table.
Speculations and Excitement
Since the news broke, NBA fans have been buzzing with excitement over the prospect of seeing Curry and James play together. Many have expressed their anticipation for what the duo could have looked like on the court, with one fan mentioning the potential of them winning their 5th ring together.
Upcoming All-Star Game
For now, fans will have to settle for seeing Curry and James play together at the NBA All-Star games this weekend in Indy, providing a glimpse of what could have been.
